Hi, I think I may have found a bug in the rtl v3pre8 patch. I have installed v3pre8 on my machine. It appears to be working. However during the installation process I ran into a problem. I was unable to do: make xconfig. It gave me an error and stopped. The following is the error: [root@penguin linux]# make xconfig rm -f include/asm ( cd include ; ln -sf asm-i386 asm) make -C scripts kconfig.tk make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/RT_Linux_3.0pre8/linux/scripts' cat header.tk >> ./kconfig.tk ./tkparse < ../arch/i386/config.in >> kconfig.tk -: 8: incorrect argument make[1]: *** [kconfig.tk] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/RT_Linux_3.0pre8/linux/scripts' make: *** [xconfig] Error 2 [root@penguin linux]# I removed the patched kernel and re-installed linux 2.2.17 by itself. I was able to do: make xconfig. It didn't like my existing config file from linux 2.2.16 (there were three new parameters in 2.2.17) so I then did a: make oldconfig and it asked me about the three new items only, to which I summarily answered no because I didn't know what they were. After that I was able to do: make xconfig and it ran just fine. I then patched the kernel with rtlinux v3pre8. I tried to perform make xconfig and it failed again with the same errors as above. I don't know why this is happening. I believe I have a good installation of rtl v3pre8. If there is any reason to suspect my installation please advise. I don't want any hidden problems. I just wanted to report a possible bug. -- [rtl] --- To unsubscribe: echo "unsubscribe rtl" | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] OR echo "unsubscribe rtl <Your_email>" | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- For more information on Real-Time Linux see: http://www.rtlinux.org/rtlinux/
